"The Ancient: Giants Under The Sun" lyrics

"The Ancient: Giants Under The Sun"

[Part 1]

[Instrumental]

[Part 2]

As one with the knowledge and magic of the source
Attuned to the majesty of music
They marched as one with the Earth
Ah

Sol, Dhoop
Sun
Ilios

Naytheet
Ah Kin
Saule

Tonatiuh
Qurax
Gunes, Grian

Surie
Ir
Samse

[Part 3]

[Instrumental]

[Part 4]

So the flowering creativity of life
Wove its web face-to-face
With the shallow
And their gods sought out and conquered
Ah Kin

[Part 5]

Do the leaves of green stay greener
Through the autumn?
Does the colour of the sun
Turn crimson white?
Does a shadow come between us
In the winter?
Is the movement really light?

And I heard a million voices singing
Acting to the stories
That they had heard about
Does one child know the secret
And can say it?
Or does it all come out along without you?
Along without you
Along without you

Where does reason stop and killing just take over?
Does a lamb cry out
Before we shoot it dead?
Are there many more in comfort understanding?
Is the movement in the head?

And I heard a million voices singing
Acting to the story
That they had heard about
Does one child know the secret
And can say it?
Or does it all come out along without you?
Along without you
Along without you
